    "New oil more often" - more harm than good. Everytime you drain and fill doesnt protect the areas (where oil should have been) during engine start/ignition. A brief discussion of this was in bitog forums. Wish I bookmarked it. Cant find it anymore.

    Interesting...

    I was thinking after turning off the engine, majority of the oil goes to the oil pan/sump so draining this and refilling it with new oil should have the same effect on start up since the new oil will just flow to the oil sump either way.

    Ano daw reason sa bitog?

    To add, you typically pour in new oil through the valve cover filler hole. From there, the oil pretty much soaks the valve train before flowing down the same oil passage ways to the sump.

    Though, I tend to disagree with an earlier post that changing mineral oil at shorter intervals is better than using FS oil at longer intervals. As long as the FS oil is replaced at the prescribed interval, it should perform at par or even better than mineral oil.

Mineral , semi synthetic or fully synthetic?
